REACH HIGHER
Inspire young people to
reach higher to complete
their education beyond high
school so that they can own
their futures . . . focusing on
things like financial aid,
college counseling,
academic and summer
planning, and college visits.
Complete your education.
Own your future.
Ensure that every student in
this country understands
how to pursue and
complete their education –
a traditional four-year
college or a community
college, or via a
professional certificate or
degree.
